"There has been another rash of stories in traditional media about book proposals lately.

"One of the oddest involves deposed Miss California (and Miss USA runner-up) Carrie Prejean, who was fired by the pageant for alleged breach of contract. Prejean attracted controversy on a number of fronts, including her answer during the pageant opposing same-sex marriages in California.

"Recently US News & World Report reported she had a book proposal, aimed at conservative publishers.

"Now in a follow-up, Donald Trump's Miss USA pageant says her book proposal is actually one of the reasons that she was fired.

"But Prejean's attorney notes she was "given preliminary approval" to write a book, had "a draft amendment to her contract for that purpose at the time that she was terminated," and has not actually contracted to write a book yet anyway."

So she has a book?

Or doesn't have a book?

Can she even write?

Frankly, who cares! The cannon of American literature can do without this book.

Oh, those celebrity books. The "authors" are all too often given staggering advances and the books never earn out. The money is taken from the advances of working authors. I wish she would stick to endorsing soft drinks and makeup.

"Frankly, who cares! The cannon of American literarture can do without this book.

"May her pearly words of unwisdom never see the light of day."

Gee, I wonder what _you_ think of her? Writers like you are so objective it's hard to tell.

To answer your question above, yes I'm sure she can write--much better than you, in fact. But even though your writing leaves much to be desired, I'd never say that it shouldn't "see the light of day" since I believe in freedom of speech.

People have the right to express themselves as cretins, as you have so eloquently done.

Always a pleasure to comment after a mean person ... C'mon Truth D., can we please have an opinion without the vitriol attached?
Anyhoo .... seeing that the Bush family dog and the Clinton family cat each managed to get a book contract, it only seems fair that Ms. Prejean has her say. More power to her.

Could be a cool book; real insightful about how the Miss USA pageant and the media in general are being hijacked by the gay agenda. The cannon of American literature can always use some independent thinkers.

Now if you were consistent (which you're not) and since you said my post was full of "vitriol", you'd have to say that same about hers. Or about the people--on your side--who called Prejean "dumb bi***", "stupid wh***", "idiot Christian", etc.

But, of course, you don't. Oh yeah, that's because posts are vitriolic only when _you_ disagree with them...
